Ingredients
  

  • 1 head of cauliflower riced
  • 1 english cucumber chopped
  • ½ cup cherry tomato cut in half
  • ¼ cup red onion fine chopped
  • 2-4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 lemon juice of 1 lemon
  • sea salt
  • pepper
  • ½ tsp sumac
  • 5 oz mint
  • ½ cup parsley plus more if needed

Instructions
 

  • Start with prepping the cauliflower. Place the florets into a food processor on chop mode and pulse for a few seconds until it is chopped but not too small.
  • Add to a large bowl. Then add in the chopped cucumbers, cherry tomato, red onion and the herbs.
  • Pour the lemon juice over top, sprinkle the salt, pepper and sumac. Then drizzle the olive oil over the top. Gently mix together. For best flavor, let the cauliflower tabbouleh salad sit in the fridge for about 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Notes:
Storing:
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.
Helpful tips:
  • Make your own cauliflower rice by using a food processor or buy fresh pre-riced cauliflower. Using frozen cauliflower won’t taste as good because it won’t have the fresh texture.
  • Make ahead so the flavors can settle in.
  • Sumac gives it a lemony taste. If you don’t have it, use more lemon juice.
